Should you refrain from overtaking the vehicle in this situation?

Description

Art. 24 para. 1 pt. 1 in conjunction with Art. 3 para. 1 and Art. 4 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended)
Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes, you should refrain from overtaking. The video shows a pedestrian walking on the left side of the carriageway. Performing the overtaking manoeuvre at this moment would create a direct hazard for them, as there is not enough space to maintain a safe distance. According to Art. 24 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act, before overtaking, a driver must ensure they have enough space to perform the manoeuvre without hindering anyone's movement.
